Diablo reportedly coming to Netflix as original animated series

Hopefully it goes the way of Castlevania, an excellent video game adaptation.

It looks like Diablo is hopefully going the way of Castlevania, if comments from Boom! Studios founder Andrew "Andy" Cosby turn out to be true. The creator took to Twitter in a series of tweets that have now been removed from the platform to announce Netflix's upcoming Diablo series and his role within.

"I guess I can confirm I am indeed in final talks to write and show-run the new DIABLO animated series for Activision and Netflix. It's very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out," he tweeted before nuking the announcements. Unfortunately, that's about all we know at this time, and we don't have the tweets to refer back to. However, Cosby was the co-creator of Syfy's Eureka,and is the brains behind the upcoming Hellboy film reboot.

Hopefully, Netflix will come out with an announcement regarding where the company could be going with a Diablo animated series soon, because it certainly sounds like a good idea from where we're standing. Imagine how cool it could possibly be!

      What would be awesome would be them getting to a 4th season with good original writing not based on any of the prior games. That then hopefully finds its way into Diablo 4 because Diablo 3's writing sucked.

      Goddamnit, there goes another one of the "unannounced Diablo projects." Getting less and less likely that we'll see D4 or some other new Diablo game anytime soon.

      Just 10 episodes of the hero breaking crates. Of course there will be monsters scattered about, but we know that crates are a Diablo hero's worst enemy.

      It starts as a hard M rated satanic anime, and ends as a PG-13 pony show.

      With the right people, the story of Tristram could be fantastic.
